Souvenir Waltz

I've got souvenirs All shapes and size With one, a promise A return was on the rise Now, I still buy them Don't get me wrong I just save them for someone Who's there when I'm gone Look up at the sky Call down those stars Remember those days, in the Oklahoma rain When it was all ours Green country blues Red state roll on If I left tonight I'd be there before dawn But ain't a thing there And time is my wealth So until the minutes take me Take care of yourself Look up at the sky Call down those stars Remember those days, in the Oklahoma rain When it was all ours We split the difference We killed compromise In love and in war In the whites of your eyes There was a vision A soft golden pale Like the fog of the morning On the walls of a jail Look up at the sky Call down those stars Remember those days, in the Oklahoma rain When it was all ours It's a long time gone It's a long time gone It's a long time gone It's a long time gone
